, indiscrim nat cuts to things like education and training, national security will cost us jobs and it will slow down our recovery. it's not the right thing to do for the economy. it's not the right thing for folks who are out there still looking for work. the good news is this doesn't have to happen. for all the drama and disagreements that we've had over the past two years, democrats and republicans have still been able to come together and cut the deficit by more than 2.5 trillion dollars through a mix of spending cuts and higher rates on taxes for the wealthy. so a balanced approach has achieved more than 2.5 trillion dollars in deficit reduction. that's more than halfway towards the $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists and elected officials from both parties believe is required to stabilize our debt, so we've made progress. i still believe we can finish the job with a balanced mix of spending cuts and more tax reform. the proposals that i put forward during the fiscal cliff negotiations in discussions with speaker boehner and others are still very much on the ta

education calling this unprecedented in any one's memory, the issue here is was there student collab ragds or was there out right cheating. a lawyer i spoke with representatives some of the students said there are two waves, there was cheating and collaboration, because this course reportedly introduction to congress was known as an easy course, where a lot of as were given out, where collaboration was encouraged. then they got a difficult exam. and so they collaborated. some of them too much so. there was even plagiarism according to the university. i had a chance to speak to a student here about this, who knew people that have taken this course before, and has been following this, here's what she told me. >> now in the first week, as to explicitly explain their collaboration policies, so that a teacher will spend ten minutes explaining what is allowed and what is not allowed which didn't used to be the case before. now before every exam every assignment the teachers try to be more explicit what is allowed and what is not. >> reporter: so ashleigh, she's explaining the changes that have h

nongovernmental provider of social services. health care education, charity, out there every day caring for the least among us. yet, they're being threatened with massive government fines, crippling government fines, being forced into lawsuits to defend their religious liberty. and this just shouldn't be happening in a country that was founded on principles of religious liberty. >>steve: i agree with you completely. let's take a look at the change according to the department of health and human services. they say nonprofit religious employers will be able to opt out of the obamacare mandate, but insurers will be required to provide the coverage which includes both standard birth control and items like the morning-after pill. in other words, if you're a catholic charity, you per se, the money for those drugs won't come out of your pocket but probably going to come out of your insurance company's pocket. >> there's 80 pages of new regulations. they came up with a kind of repackaged accounting gimmick, new schemes to move paper work around. but the essential, the heart of this is that the

sense. >> we just had a hearing in our education committee on this issue. we made the decision. it's a local decision, piers. we have over 1,000 school districts in texas. many large districts have armed guards already. but the rural districts that won't have police response for five, 10, 15 minutes want to arm their teachers. >> i met two young female elementary school teachers in their early 20s in a bar in houston friday night. we talked to them with our producers. both believed in having a concealed carry permit because of their own safety. none of them wanted to have assault weapons, complete ban of assault weapons and were absolutely aghast at the prospect of having any guns in their schools. >> there's always going to be someone -- >> that's in texas. >> here is what i said. you asked me earlier, what would i say to the parents at this school whose kids died. i would say to you, why are you obsessing over a gun when there's a much bigger issue? there's mental health issues here. >> i'm obsessing over the very gun that killed their children. that's why. >> what happened when

way to prosperity. deep indiscriminate cuts to things like education, training, inauguration, and national security, will cost jobs and slow down the recovery. >> shepard: runs say they already agreed to tax hikes and they aren't going to do it again. john boehner says we believe there's a better way to reduce the deficit but americans do not support less spending cuts for tax hikes. what some aresome of the details of what the president wants? reporter: the president is looking to crop $100 billion from the def site to buy an agreement that cuts a trillion and a half over the next ten years. he says the offer he made in late 2011 is still on the table. republicans say any additional revenue from tax reform should be used to lower everyone's tax rates. the president wants to cut the deficit. he says we can't afford to use it the way republicans want. >> if we are going to close these loopholes, there's no reason we should useoo the savings we obtain and turn around and spend that on new tax breaks for the wealthiest, or for corporations. if we're serious about paying down the

of courage after she was attacked for her crusade to educate pakistani girls. doctors say they are pleased with the progress malala is making and we will hear from her in a minute. first we will bring in our chief medical correspondent. sanjay, good to see you. you are of course a neurosurgeon, you have done these types of surgeries before. sometimes in the battlefield, as i recall. explain for us what was involved in replacing this piece of missing bone in her skull. the most extraordinary thing is you have this girl shot in the head, she was so eloquent and speaking so well. tell us how you did this. >> reporter: it's extraordinary on many levels. there are all types of injuries. and certainly neurosurgeons want to know exactly what happened to the brain. what exactly the type of injury was. that makes a difference in terms of all of the types of operations. take a look, you have to look from the front, you also have to look from the side, to really get an idea of what the bullet, when she was shot at point blank range, what it did. it was the left side of her head. but look over there,

. >> steve: she's an education reformer known for her no nonsense approach during her time as the chancellor of dc schools and she's not done fighting at this point. michelle rhee is now the head of grassroots group called students first. she also has a brand-new book out called "radical." she joins us in the studio. you radical, you. you wrote this book where you put students first. for the average mom out there watching, she's got some kids in school and she's frustrated because she knows the system is broken. >> that's right. there are so many parents out there who are living life every day and they don't know what to do because they're frustrated with their school system and their kids' school experience. so i wanted to write "radical" to help the parents understand why the system is the way it is what it is and what they should do. >> steve: you were telling me in the break just about, for instance, in los angeles, this seems like a no brainer, some sexual predator was a teacher and yet, what happened? >> so they found all this evidence that this guy was a sexual predator. they couldn't

the establishment of her new charity, the malala fund for girls' education. the message was recorded before malala's most recent surgery over the weekend, which the doctors have described as a success. >>> the president heads to minneapolis today to meet with local leaders on the issue of gun control. in his annual presuper bowl interview last night he addressed a range of other issues, including the risk of brain injury in children playing football. >> i want to make sure that we're doing everything we can to make the sport safer and that means that the game is probably going to evolve a little bit. >> president obama also addressed the boy scouts' longstanding policy of excluding gays and lesbians, saying that they should have, quote, access and opportunity the same way everyone else does. >>> researchers in england say they have found a skeleton of king richard iii. dna results show the battle scarred bones under a parking lot are, no doubt, those of the king killed in battle some years ago. he was immortalized by william shakespeare as a brutal tyrant who said now is our winter of discontent a

, that they are here for an education, don't worry about that. >> reporter: i spoke with a local school bus driver and she says drivers in the district have met and will work on official safety procedures in the event a person gets on the school bus with a weapon. we're expecting the next official update at noon eastern. john. >> victor blackwell in midland city. thank you for keeping us up to speed on this ongoing story. >>> president obama hits the road to combat gun violence. he's headed to minneapolis for a speech this afternoon and prepares to leave washington. really buzzing about this picture of the president at camp david. the white house leased the photo to quiet critic who's questioned the president's claim that he sometimes shoots skeet during retreats at camp david. conspiracy theorists say it's a doctored photo already. ridiculous. the president sat down with cbs news scott pelley ahead of the super bowl and asked if he agreed with the recent announcement of the boy scouts of america that they may be lifting the ban on gay members. let's listen. >> my attitude, gays and lesb n lesbia

't really make any sense like education that, which exnear the computer spread and the gap and dat and reality. you have gdp data in your report. but obviously nobody checked it to see if the gdp per capita data -- [inaudible] so if we don't actually check the sources for our measures of effectivenesses, does if goo do any good to have -- measures of effectivenesses? [laughter] >> okay. where should we start? >> microphone, please. [inaudible conversations] >> okay. [inaudible] let me try to deal with the first question. i'll get to the multi-part questions. i'll try to do that. on the tangible benefits, we recognize there are some intangible benefits. excuse me. but what i was trying to say if there intangible benefits for program or policy, they should be articulated. we should find out off the we go in the audit. i recall one instance we were doing it and the purpose was to do this and this. women, we asked you, you gave reasons for why you're doing the program to congresses for the appropriations. we took what your justification was and mid it. we were looking at ap -- aip prog

policies that help people with their health care costs, their education needs, college tuition and the rest. >> you want to make people's lives better. some might ask how you can do that and still slash the federal budget the way you want to slash in order to meet your other goal, which is to reduce the deficit. >> well, again, these are, you know, things that we're trying to do all to benefit americans, right? and i think if you take the sort of suggestion that somehow you just keep spending money at the federal level and that's going to make life better for people, my goodness, we should have it pretty good right now given that we're spending a trillion dollars a year more than we have. i don't think that's the answer. >> one last question. how do you answer skeptics who say, here's eric cantor out there again with his third or fourth plan to try to remake the image of republicans who may need an image makeover? >> all i know is i met joseph kelly yesterday whose kids go to the d.c. preparatory school. i don't think he cares or thinks about rebranding or repositioning or anything. what he

. so -- my niece will go back to the institution that they presume to call educational and she'll be persecuted no longer. >> you have got the southern gentleman down. >> a good, interesting character. >> a character written specifically for you. the movie and the novelist had a picture of you taped to the computers when they're writing the book. >> is that a compliment? i don't know. i'm never sure. >> what made them see you as the ultimate magical recluse? >> i have no idea. i have no idea. >> when you were taping, i heard this is some kind of a witches' tale. i don't know if witch is the right word. >> it's more love story. it's a supernatural story. at the base, the center, it's about two young people who are in love and with all the pressures that surround them. >> this is your niece. in some ways, a love story about dad and his daughter. >> absolutely. man trying to protect, as i think every father will understand the character. >> there was some kind of a supernatural occurrence while you were taping. >> i don't remember that. >> i heard something supernatural happened o

scouts. >> the purpose of the boy scouts to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character. how do you build character in a young boy when other boys who are their friends are not allowed to be part of the group because they are not seen as the same because they are gay? >> boy scouts have the right to define character, and they define character as being morally straight, and that involves being sexually pure and being a heterosexual. if homosexuals want to have a different organization, then let them form one, not let them try to destroy 102-year-old one and take away its core values. >> richard land from the southern baptist convention, thanks for joining us this morning. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> she writes, she performs, she produces on e channel!'s chelsea lately. comedian heather mcdonald has a new book talking about her hilarious family. good morning! >> hello. >> nice to meet you. surgery was successful, but he will be in a cast until it is fully healed, possibly several months. so, if the duck isn't able to work, how will h

to the culture and movies and video games about mental health services and education and if we can do all of those things, we do everything we possibly can to ensure what happened in newtown doesn't happen again. that's what we owe the children. >> when he said nothing we can do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting, why are you going through all of this if it's not going to fundamentally alter that possibility? >> wolf, the idea here is that the vice president put forward to ensure that weapons of war and the mentally ill and the dangerous don't have access to the violence. we will do everything we can to prevent the tragedies like what happened in newtown. that's the ultimate goal and the effort here. is there always going to be a danger of some person doing something? that's true, but we have to look inside and say are we doing everything we can to protect our children? that's what the president wants to do. >> we're saw the picture of the president skeet shooting and i will put it up on the screen for the viewers who haven't seen it. i t

. the state board of education says eighth graders will now have a choice between taking algebra 1 or an alternate math course. supporters say the algebra requirement caused some eighth graders to struggle academically, because they aren't prepared for higher math. but critics say success in algebra 1 is the single best predictor for college graduation. >>> well, if you need to fill up, prepare to dig a little deeper in your wallet, because gas prices in california did shoot up overnight to $3.90 a gallon. up 23 cents from a week ago. gas prices nationwide are at record highs for early february. and analysts say problems at refineries and speculation are to blame for driving those prices higher. so let's check out the prices in san francisco. you will have to pay 3.90 a gallon. in oakland, 3.84 is the average. and down in san jose, 3.85 is the price of gas. >>> boeing's dream liner has been grounded but the batteries that sparked the fire on the 787 are still being flown as cargo on other airliners. boeing 787 dreamliners were grounded around the world after a battery fire three we

or agricultural workers or areas of s.t.e.m. education that would give immediate green cards. i think in the end you will see more of a piecemeal effort than the comprehensive. >> really? >> although i think this is a good beginning. >> you think it will be step by step, incremental, not the whole kit 'n' kaboodle, what the white house wants to see? >> i do. i have been in those negotiations and meetings, and i think you find one group for a part of it, but then they fall out on something else, and, therefore, the something else, and then the first group falls out. i have seen that, and i think in the end, you will have a good start, and i think this is a good start, but i think you are going to have much more incremental successes and i think we should start on those incremental successes. >> really quickly while i have you here, let's switch gears to the other hot topic. gun rights. a long-time supporter, a grade "a" from the nra while in office. you recently said that high capacity magazines are a real danger to our society. what else needs to happen? and politically at this particular junctu

, a lot of the measures we are using do not really make any sense, like education data, which ignore the actual computer spread and the gap between those data and reality. you have gdp data in your report, but obviously, nobody checked to see if the gdp per capita data you are using trucks between international andization, which have a 2 to 1 different. -- tracks between international organizations, which had a two to one difference. if we do not track the effectiveness, does it do any good to have measures of the effectiveness? >> ok, where we start? [laughter] let me try to deal with the first question. and then i will get to the multi part question. on the intangible benefits, yes, we do recognize there are some. but what i was trying to say that if there are intangible benefits for a program or policy, they should be articulated. we should find out after we go into the arctic -- into the audit. i recall an instance where we were doing an audit the guy said, oh, our purpose is to do this and this. and we said, we ask you when we did the audit were your reasons work and you gave th
